# `nomad job allocs` command reference

The `job allocs` command is used to display the allocations for a
particular job.

## Usage

```plaintext
nomad job allocs [options] <job>
```

The `job allocs` command requires a single argument, the job ID or an ID
prefix of a job to display the list of allocations for.

When ACLs are enabled, this command requires a token with the `read-job`
capability for the job's namespace. The `list-jobs` capability is required to
run the command with a job prefix instead of the exact job ID.

## Options

- `-all`: Display all allocations matching the job ID, even those from an
  older instance of the job.

- `-json`: Output the allocations in JSON format.

- `-t`: Format and display the allocations using a Go template.

- `-verbose`: Show full information.

## Examples

List the allocations for a particular job:

```shell-session
$ nomad job allocs example
ID        Node ID   Task Group  Version  Desired  Status   Created   Modified
c2b4606d  35085106  cache       2        run      running  21s ago   10s ago
c413424b  35085106  cache       2        run      pending  1m8s ago  11s ago
```

Verbose listing of allocations for a particular job:

```shell-session
$ nomad job allocs -verbose example
ID                                    Eval ID                               Node ID                               Node Name  Task Group  Version  Desired  Status   Created                    Modified
c2b4606d-1b02-0d8d-5fdd-031167cd4c91  5e2badb6-b7cf-5177-8281-8fe14f7193d2  35085106-9480-b465-a348-deb745024394  ubuntu     cache       2        run      running  2021-09-23T14:45:09-04:00  2021-09-23T14:45:19-04:00
c413424b-d80e-9bc6-ea92-a02b336eaaf5  5e2badb6-b7cf-5177-8281-8fe14f7193d2  35085106-9480-b465-a348-deb745024394  ubuntu     cache       2        run      pending  2021-09-23T14:44:22-04:00  2021-09-23T14:45:19-04:00
```

Format job allocations using a Go template:
```shell-session
$ nomad job allocs -t '{{ range . }}{{ println .ID }}{{ end }}' example
c2b4606d-1b02-0d8d-5fdd-031167cd4c91
c413424b-d80e-9bc6-ea92-a02b336eaaf5
```

Use a Go template to filter only allocations which are running
```shell-session
$ nomad job allocs -t '{{ range . }}{{ if eq .ClientStatus "running" }}{{ println .ID }}{{ end }}{{ end }}' example
c2b4606d-1b02-0d8d-5fdd-031167cd4c91
```
